Toys<\/a> was the hottest category in 2021 winter sales, but also encountered the worst infringement issues. Not only did toys brands raise frequent prosecutions, many hot selling products were also patent-protected. As such, suppliers need to be extremely careful not to fall into the traps of rights infringement.<\/p>

Suppliers must check any copyright issues regarding products’ trademark, appearance and branding.<\/strong> For new suppliers, they should enquire if there is any patent or copyright when confirming product selections.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Get to know the latest global economy and market demands.<\/strong> As the global economic environment gradually recovers, so as the buying power of consumers. This provides enormous opportunities to global trade.\u00a0<\/p>

At the same time, study the consumption behaviour and economic power of your target markets<\/strong> to better meet customers’ demand. It is also crucial to master the winter bestsellers and potential customer demands<\/strong> to maximize orders.<\/p>

A low inventory level during peak season would undermine sales and customers’ satisfaction. This is the reason why many suppliers would stock up at least 3 times of the normal inventory before the peak. Although this can ensure enough supply, it also brings risks such as a squeezed cashflow or even financial difficulty if the product is not selling as good as expected<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
